Ethan T. Swick

Author of Fantasy and Science Fiction

Hi, I’m Ethan.

I like to write stories. My biggest inspirations are writers such as JRR Tolkien, John Gardner, Michael Crichton, and Shirley Jackson.

I live in Ozark, Missouri with my wife, our daughter, and a goofy little dog.

My Writerly Fascinations

The Supernatural

A love of monsters, magic, and mythology forms the very bedrock of my work.

Unique Voices

A character’s inner life is just as important as the world they inhabit.

Cohesive Worlds

If the story world is detailed, congruent, and alive, the supernatural elements will seem just as real.

“One of the best novels I have read as a professor. Ethan showed how one can nail down an entire novella in this MFA program, something VERY few people achieve!”

Tom Paine, author of The Pearl of Kuwait
